radar 5 Dead in Texas After S.U.V. Packed With Immigrants

Crashes in High-Speed Chase.

Quote:
At least five people died on Sunday in South Texas after an S.U.V. carrying a dozen unauthorized immigrants crashed while trying to speed away from Border Patrol agents and local officials, the authorities said.
Several others were injured when they were ejected from the S.U.V., which was speeding about 100 miles per hour when it rolled over, the authorities said. The crash happened in Dimmit County, about 125 miles southwest of San Antonio.
Marion Boyd, the Dimmit County sheriff, said two United States citizens — the driver and one passenger — were trying to smuggle 12 unauthorized immigrants.

As my wife and step daughter and i drove to a nearby town for dinner, we came upon traffic in the opposing lane with people standing by while a police officer and an off duty nurse administered CPR to a woman lying in the street.

in the grassy median was a Harley Davidson type motorcycle in a twisted mangled mess.

she was pronounced dead at the scene.

apparently she was the passenger on the motorcycle, the driver survived. He was running from the police after an attempted stop for speeding.

he had warrants for his arrest in two cities and a laundry list of other charges... to which murder has been now added.

his girlfriend (i assume) is dead because he chose to break the law.

i dont care if he broke all of those laws for the most noble of reasons, he broke them. and his choice to run killed that woman and endangered the general public.

i dont care how noble the reasons for sneaking into a country are... the law was broken... they chose to break the law, they chose to run, they selected door number two and paid the ultimate price.

stop

breaking

the

law

Nailed it!


I also take real issue with the way the "zero tolerance" policy is being characterized in the media...that now it's all about how mean it is to the kids when the EXACT SAME SEPARATION POLICY was in place under numerous previous administrations, they just chose NOT to enforce the law that says it's a violation of Federal law to cross into the country illegally.

Crazy isnt it, abit like the way (for a while) here in Europe nearly all migrants were being branded as 'refugees' by the media - until they called out for it. Then they stopped.
